From
the author of Carnage 1&2, comes this follow up novel. Marley tells the
story of Carnage from Marley Layton’s POV. It will give you the missing years.
Marley is a companion novel to Carnage 1&2 and both of those books should
be read first.

Want
to know what really happened in that hotel room in Paris?

Want
to know if the rumours of Marley, Sean and their sexploits were true?

We
got to watch Georgia fall apart but what was Sean going through in those four
years they were separated?

Marley
will give you the answers but he might just break your heart along the way.

"‘So, they want
me to write a book? They want to know about my band, my life, my loves and my
losses. But they have no idea what they’re asking for. If I give them what they
want, they’ll get so much more than the sex and drugs and the rock and roll
they’re expecting. They’ll get the secrets that I’ve kept for so long, they’ll
get an insight into the person I really am, or at least was. They think they
know my story, they know nothing.

If I do this, if I
write honestly and give them the ugly truth, people will get hurt. People that
I love, people that have already suffered in the worst possible ways.

Do I do this, or do
I walk away? Taking my secrets to the grave."

Marley
is an adult contemporary romance. It contains content suitable only for
grownups with an open mind. There are scenes of group sex which include m/f/m a
little bit of f/m/m and even some f/f/f/m/m/f/f/f. There is drinking and drug
taking involved. A lot of swearing, some Essex slang and some very high emotion.
Please don’t complain after reading this book that you weren't warned.

And
yes, of course you’ll need tissues.

Carnage: The story of
us
Book Summary
I love him, from the instant I set eyes on him when I was just 11 years old I
have loved him and nothing will ever change that, he owns me, he owns my heart
and he owns my body and no matter how many lies are told, no matter how many
people conspire to keep us apart, despite the fame and the distance, we will
find a way.
“Georgia Rae, when we made love you used to cry”… He waits for me to sing my
bit. I try to swallow down a sob but I just end up singing through it…
“I said I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die”
Carnage, an edgy coming of age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends
the decades. Georgia and Sean's story will stay with you long after you read
the final word.
An emotional, smoking hot, gut wrenching read.

When your world, your life and all of
your hopes and dreams for the future are ripped out from under you, how do you
go on?
Death without dying is not only the most painful kind of death, it's also the
most painful kind of life and I don't know if I'm strong enough to live it.
I spend my lonely days and nights trying to make sense of what my life has
become. Do I have the strength to move forward into the light, or should I just
let the darkness take me?
I'm Georgia Rae Layton McCarthy and this is the story of me, just me.
I'm no longer a part of an us, it's just me.
Alone.
By myself.
